* In a TV Title Match, Devon defeated Robbie T by DQ when Robbie E went in the ring and smashed the clipboard over Devon's head.

* For the TNA Gut Check, Ric Flair, Bruce Pritchard, and Al Snow came down to the ring. Al Snow put over the accolades of all three then brought Alex Silva to the ring. The ring was setup with a spotlight on the ring, giving it a bit of a game-show type look. Flair, Pritchard, and Snow all said their peace on Silva's performance last week and said that 2/3 of them at the end had to say yes in order for Alex to receive a contract with Impact Wrestling. Flair and Bruce initially were leaning towards no, but Snow said that Silva had one more opportunity via taking the microphone for 30 seconds and speaking to sell himself to the three of them. Silva at first spoke, but Flair made him restart due to the fact that Flair felt he was talking to the audience and not the three of them. Alex said how this is what he has dreamed of, how he has the heart and soul for professional wrestling, and how this is something that he always wanted to do for his father. Both Bruce and Flair changed their tune after this Alex Silva ended up with a contract..

* Bully Ray came out with Jeremy Borash and threw him in the ring. He taunted Borash and got in his face until Austin Aries came out. Austin said that the only thing Ray can criticize him of is his size and points out how Ray has said that he has taken craps bigger than Austin and has eaten chicken wings bigger than him. Austin says he does not doubt that because Ray is a fatass, mentioning how he even used to go by the name of Bubba. Ray got in his face and said that Austin wouldn't do anything despite what Ray does. Ray ends up spitting in Austin's face and continues to taunt him until Aries snaps and lays into Ray with punches. Security comes out to attempt to break them up, but A Double lays out the security as well until Ray runs up and boots Aries in the face before leaving.

* AJ Styles, Samoa Joe & Magnus defeated Kurt Angle, Christopher Daniels & Kazarian when AJ hit the Styles Clash on Kazarian. Angle had AJ in the Ankle Lock and AJ looked like he was going to tap until Kazarian made a blind tag, which ended up being the downfall and led to AJ pinning him. After the match, Kurt Angle got into both Kazarian and Daniels's faces. Chris grabbed a mic and said that he had something to say, but to AJ, as Kurt left. He reminded that both he and Kazarian know his secret and that at next week's Impact, both he and Kazarian will reveal it unless AJ decides to come out and reveal it himself.

* They did a brief re-tape where Aries and Ray brawled back to the ring, only this time, security held Aries back in the ring and Ray ran up and kicked Aries below the belt.

* In a No DQ Match, TNA Champion Bobby Roode beat Mr. Anderson with a Payoff. Hardy attempted to get involved with a chair to save Anderson during the match, but Roode overcame it. After the match, Roode attacked Hardy and Anderson with the chair until RVD ran down and chased Roode off. RVD attended to the two of them and then Roode came back and laid out RVD with the chair.

NOTE: I don't know why it was made No DQ. I'd assume it was in a backstage segment, unless I missed it being mentioned in the RVD/Roode promo.
